What is recorded here
Situated on a NW-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland. Depicted on the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure with a field boundary skirting the SW quadrant which is still intact. A possible denuded bank is visible in the former NW and SE quadrants, indicated by a slight rise in the ground. The site was considered of no archaeological interest when visited in 1959 (OPW file, 1959). Not visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
